Please Join Us for a 3-hour Virtual Mini-Conference on May 21st Fostering Cooperation on Open-Source Pandemic Ventilators

On May 21st we will host a virtual mini-con to review the impressive progress, discuss the uncertain present, and forge a path forward for makers, philanthropists, investors, government officials, medical professionals, and manufacturers involved in building pandemic ventilators.

Since March, communities have formed around the perceived shortfall of ventilators needed to treat COVID-19. The pandemic created mayhem and confusion which has been painstakingly cleared away. We have learned better what is need to treat the disease, that the ventilators need to be more sophisticated, and that the crisis may have abated but the future remains uncertain, especially in the developing world.

The conference will have six sessions of approximately 25 minutes, attempting to bring together diverse speakers. We will not be discussing specific ventilator projects in detail, but rather discussing the larger community and eco-system.
